If warranty of your laptop is expiring, you can upgrade with 10% off for another year with ONSITE warranty.

My ideapad s540 needed keyboard to be fixed and I can't afford to send it to Depot (current warranty is expiring on 16th Nov), so upgraded to ONSITE for $101 approx for another year with 10% off code.

You can upgrade from within Lenovo Vantage software for ease, as its difficult to find serial no via url in link.

  Thanks OP. Worked with the basic depot warranty as well.

  For sake of sharing my experience - i've found Lenovo warranty to be terrible. Having an issue with a 3 month old Carbon X1 with a faulty port (no other damage to laptop), and their initial position is that it isnt covered by warranty and want to charge for fixing. Having to go through fair trading.

  Buying extra warranty is a scam. If your product stop working during a reasonable time, you're covered through ACL.

  Just threaten to escalate to FT or ACCC

    What is reasonable?

      Usually 2-3 years. A lot of companies know this, and just expect you to not know your rights. Hence why ACC now makes it illegal for companies to advertise extended warranty for you in your first week of product ownership.

      Use your own judgement. If its $500 laptop, id says 1-2 years. If its $3000, at least 5 years.

      Depends on your use, the brand, any product description etc.

      I had a fridge that ran out of 5MW, bought in 2016 for $5000. I told them 5 years is not reasonable. They replied that their team 'assessors' said it 5 years was reasonable. I replied with the following
      "I bought the fridge for $5000 in 2014 from a very reputable brand (LG). It does not matter if MW expired, the ACL says otherwise. If you do not help me, i will take it up with the ACCC and Fairtrade, and there is a high chance they will find in my favour"

      They ended up giving up, and replaced my fridge door.

    Its not about extra warranty, its about sending the laptop to depot and wait for it for 2weeks or upgrading to OnSite and technician will come to your place to fix it.

      I guess the only reason why you would buy a warranty is for convenience.

      I buy the Good Guys Concierge cause its instant replacement no matter the defect.

    @koipanda: I disagree. I always buy extended "Manufacturer" warranty (onsite) on Notebooks. If anything goes wrong, the Tech comes onsite next day (or two) and replaces the part. No hassle of RTB (return to base) and waiting weeks for repair etc. Usually costs around $120 for 3 years and worth every penny :-) If never used, well so be it but peace of mind was worth the $$. On 4th year, extend again and 5th year and so on. If loss of Notebook for a few weeks is not a issue for you then perhaps not a problem.
    Decent notebooks are not cheap and a pain (and expensive to repair). Grab the extended manufacturer "onsite" warranty prior to existing expiring is what I say. MY personal opinion only :-)

    Oh and the onsite repair saves having to set everything up from scratch.

      So in other words "for convenience" as i mentioned.

        I was more responding to your initial note saying: "Buying extra warranty is a scam".
        Regardless, it is more than just for convenience. Time can mean money so saves a lot of time mucking about. ALSO if any original warranty has expired, this extends it. Repairs to NBs are expensive. I have had a Motherboard replaced on mine in year 3. That alone was worth the extra cost for me.

    For the sake of $90 per year I'd rather buy the warranty and not need the headache of threatening anyone with anything. Im making a couple of bucks per day in ethereum
    so 25 cents per day is reasonable insurance.
